Quotes About Appeal

To appeal to God is to appeal to the action of universal love. Love never fails to come when we call to it, but it will always seem to fail us when our bidding is self-centered. The most powerful prayers are simply for God's will to be done, because God's will is healing for all living things.

I just don't like this Romney guy. Stick with what we got."

Cornelius Cardew very famous in Britain, because he was the darling of the avant-garde, and he played in a band called AMM, which was an improvising band in the '60s. Paul McCartney used to come watch them. Later on in life, he became disenchanted with avant-garde music, because he felt it couldn't reach the public. It didn't have a wide enough appeal.

I do think that when he changed to folk songs, he actually lost the tiny audience he already had, which is quite interesting.

I like [ Rick] Santorum personally and respect him, but you wouldn't say that he was really that strong of an opponent. At the end of the day it wasn't like [Ronald] Reagan running against [George] Bush, or [George W.] Bush against [John] McCain, even.

He is my household's guardian soul; He judges, he presides, inspires All matters in his royal realm; Might he be fairy? or a god?

And so long as it stands Christianity, too, must stand as the one supernatural religion.
